Chapter 56



Everyone returned to the office and looked at Qi Yangyan nervously.

This person is really rich.

Before I did anything, I had already spent thirty or forty thousand on the farm.

Thirty or forty thousand!

What a concept.

In today's era when the official factory worker only earns 30 or 40 yuan a month, 30,000 or 40,000 yuan would take a person several years to save up without eating or drinking.

Director Huang is even more looking forward to the next investment from this wealthy and generous man.

He spoke cautiously, "Comrade Qi, what do you think?"

"One million."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the office was shocked.

What?

They suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.

Director Huang held his breath and said tremblingly: "...Qi, Comrade Qi, how much did you just say?"

"One million!"

"hiss--"

Everyone took a breath of cold air.

One million, how much money is that?

They dared not think about it.

Director Huang's eyes exuded fanaticism, and the way he looked at Qi Yangyan was as if he was looking at a golden doll.

His eyes lit up, "Really?"

Because he was so surprised, even Director Huang's voice began to tremble, and his hands were shaking like he had Parkinson's disease.

Qi Yangyan nodded and dropped another bomb.

"This is just an initial investment," he crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair, "Let's see how things go. If it works, I'll add more later."

Facing Director Huang's expectant and burning gaze, Qi Yangyan's voice seemed much calmer.

“No less than one million each time.”

Director Huang was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.

Oh my god!

If Qi Yangyan hadn't been sitting here, he wouldn't have behaved so embarrassingly. Director Huang had to slap himself in the face to see if he was dreaming.

This is too scary.

It's no wonder Director Huang had such a reaction. The cadres from other counties and cities were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

Director Huang is relatively good.

After the shock, he was moved.

Life in the frontier is not easy, it is not just talk. As the director, looking at the barren land and the sandstorm, if it were not for the ideal in his heart, he would leave this hellhole immediately.

But there are some people who invest millions at a time.

To put it bluntly, Director Huang wished he could recognize Qi Yangyan as his father.

Damn, this is not a human being, he is clearly a savior.

"Thank you so much, Comrade Qi," Director Huang's eyes were red. "Don't worry, our border people will definitely carve your name on the monument."

Qi Yangyan: “…”

He isn't dead yet, why carve a tombstone?

Director Huang also realized that there was ambiguity in his words. He patted his face and apologized with a smile: "Comrade Qi, you see, I can't speak when I get excited."

"I'm talking about the monument, which is engraved with the names of people who have made contributions to the frontier."

Qi Yangyan nodded and said, "I'll let my assistant contact you with the details."

"Of course, of course." Director Huang now looked at Qi Yangyan with a more friendly attitude than looking at his own father. "Don't worry, as long as the request is reasonable, we will cooperate with you unconditionally."

The one who gives the money is the boss.

Director Huang has consciously started using honorific titles.

"You're welcome," Qi Yangyan looked at some people around him, "I have something I want to talk to Director Huang about alone. Is that convenient?"

Director Huang glanced at those people, and the others left at the appropriate time.

"Convenient, put it down."

After everyone had left, Qi Yangyan spoke, "Director Huang, to be honest, I just saw an old friend of my elders here. Could you please do me a favor and let me meet them?"

Director Huang agreed immediately without even thinking about it.

"Tell me who it is and I'll call him over right away."

"The Ruan couple who were sent down here," Qi Yangyan added, "My grandfather had some friendship with the Ruan family in his early years. Now that he's old, he misses his old friends. Director Huang, don't worry, I just want to catch up with them."

"After I go back, I'll have an explanation if the old man asks me about it."

Director Huang certainly knew who Qi Yangyan was talking about.

Xie Yanzhao knew that he was going to take up the post here, and asked him to take care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

In fact, those who were sent to the farm were not extremely evil people. Most of them were affected, and the rumors in the past two years were not as intense as in previous years. It is unclear when Wang Ding will be rehabilitated and sent back.

Director Huang is not a stubborn person.

But he couldn't do too much unless ordered to do so from above. He could just lighten their burden appropriately, which could be considered as a way to establish good karma.

"Hey!" Director Huang's mind was in a state of confusion, but he quickly reacted, "It's not a big deal. Don't worry, I'll get someone to call them over right away."

In order to please the God of Wealth, Huang Zhuping thoughtfully prepared a small office for the three of them.

When Mr. and Mrs. Ruan came over, they saw Qi Yangyan standing in the room.

"Who are you......"

Ms. Luan frowned and looked at the person who came, but was pulled back by Mr. Ruan.

"He is a son."

"Son?" Ms. Luan was really surprised. She looked Qi Yangyan up and down for several times. "Why doesn't he look like one... Could he be the same as us?"

"right!"

After approaching, Qi Yangyan recognized Mr. and Mrs. Ruan at a glance.

Apart from being a little thin, weak, sallow and ugly... apart from these things, they are not much different from my parents in my previous life.

"Why are you here too?" Ms. Luan did not show any happiness, but frowned tightly, "What's going on?"

Did they just have a dream?

But when Ms. Luan pinched herself, she felt pain.

Qi Yangyan repeated what Ruan Mingfu had explained.

"I don't know what's going on."

He is also looking for clues.

Unfortunately, there is no clue at all. They don't even know why they came here, so it would be strange if they could find any clues.

Qi Yangyan also wanted to seek help from some technical personnel.

But their matter was of great importance, and unless it was a matter of life and death, it was impossible for anyone other than the four of them to know about it.

"Forget it," said Father Ruan, who was open-minded. "Since we are here, we should make the best of it."

He sat down on the chair.

Qi Yangyan was silent, "Dad, my sister said the same thing."

"See," Father Ruan said even more proudly, "I knew my daughter would agree with me."

Ms. Luan rolled her eyes at him.

"Mom and Dad, please don't stay here." Since Qi Yangyan knew that Ruan's parents were on the farm, how could he let them suffer here? "I'll go and find some connections, and you can come back to Gangcheng with me."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ruan was the first to object.

"I don't agree."

"We are now in Hong Kong, so we are dragging you down," Ms. Luan was good at grasping the key points. "The family you are going to has a lot of internal strife, so we'd better not cause trouble for you."

Father Ruan nodded, "Your mother is right."

The Qi family in Gangcheng has a son of the first wife. There are also second, third, and fifth wives, and each of these wives has sons.

One can imagine how fierce the struggle here is.

"By the way, is your mother in this body good to you?"

Ms. Luan had mixed feelings.

After all, the son she had spent so much effort to raise became someone else's child in the blink of an eye.

Where can I seek justice?

"He passed away five years ago."

Ms. Luan: “…”

To be honest, I feel a little sad.

Her son's life experience was too difficult.

"That's how it is in Hong Kong. Everyone spends a lot of money. There's no such thing as a second or third wife," Father Ruan shook his head in disdain. "But generally speaking, the first wife is the worst off."

He despises this kind of people the most.

In his previous life, as the head of the Ruan family, he didn't need to care about these people's expressions and would refuse to let these people in.

Over time, they knew that Ruan's father hated people with messy private lives. In order to get close to the Ruan family, no matter how they spent money inside, they were all his beloved wives on the surface.

Qi Yangyan: “Indeed.”

Both mother and son were killed. Isn't that tragic?

"By the way, since you've been to see your sister," for Father Ruan, his daughter is his sweetheart, "how is she doing?"

Thinking of Xie Yanzhao who was almost obedient to Ruan Mingfu, how could Qi Yangyan open his mouth.

"fine."

"That's it..."

Qi Yangyan nodded.

"Hey, tell me in detail."

Ms. Luan slapped his thigh and said, "Why did you marry someone if you love your daughter so much? When you get back, let them divorce. From now on, you will have to keep your daughter tied to your belt!"

Father Ruan touched his leg that was hurt: "..."

What's wrong with him feeling wronged and feeling sorry for his daughter?

Ruan Mingfu grew up in a sweet pot, and she never suffered any hardship. When Ruan Mingfu went to the countryside as an educated youth, her father was very distressed.

I didn't sleep that day.

Qi Yangyan: “…”

So, he just threw away his son, right?

"Alright," Ms. Luan glanced at Mr. Ruan, "let's get down to business."

"You should go to Hong Kong City and develop yourself," Father Ruan straightened up. "Life here is a bit hard, but it's safe. I want to start from this farm and move up step by step."

Qi Yangyan frowned, "Dad, do you want to go into politics?"

"I've been Mr. Ruan for my whole life. If I could start over again, I'd like to live a different life."

He had a vision that was more than fifty years ahead of his time. In that case, why not choose a more challenging path?

Who doesn't have a dream of building a strong country?

Coming to this era, Ruan's father suddenly became ten years younger. If you count carefully, he can work for at least twenty years. What's more, he is an expert in economics.

It's a good idea, but don't forget the facts.

"Dad, you were sent down here."

"What's wrong with being demoted?!" Father Ruan was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he almost jumped up. "I'll write out the plan when I get back, and it will definitely impress Director Huang."

That's what he thought before.

Father Ruan saw clearly that Secretary Huang was an idealist who also wanted to contribute to the people.

This kind of person doesn't care about his identity.

The premise is that the report he wrote is tempting enough.

Qi Yangyan thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I just invested one million."

“Sure, sure!”

Father Ruan's eyes lit up.

He used to lament that the farm was too poor and many of his plans could not be implemented. With one million, he would be able to transform the farm completely in three months.

Go back and revise the report!

Ms. Luan rolled her eyes at Father Ruan and said, "I'm not worried about your sister, I'm worried about you."

At this time, the wealthy people in Hong Kong not only had internal strife, but there were also many thugs outside who were eyeing them covetously.

"You have to be good and keep yourself safe," Ms. Luan continued. "You don't have to fight with these people for a few pieces of cake. Your father was able to carry forward the Nguyen family, and you can also create another Nguyen family here."

Ms. Luan was very confident when she said this.

She and Ruan's father were originally well matched, they just happened to like each other during the marriage. Ruan's father was the head of the Ruan family, but Ms. Luan relied on her ancestral medicinal food skills, and her worth was not much different from Ruan's father.

"Mom, I understand."

Qi Yangyan nodded.

He must keep the Qi family in his hands.

The current head of the Qi family is just a live-in son-in-law. If he didn't have a first wife, he wouldn't have made a fortune, let alone marry so many concubines. He took someone else's body, so of course he had to avenge the mother and son.

If he helped the original owner take over the entire Qi family, the other three families would probably be so angry that they would die.

When Ms. Luan saw his expression, she knew that her words were in vain.

"Just keep track of it yourself."

The child has grown up and has his own ideas.

"Mom and Dad," Qi Yangyan frowned again, "You should come with me."

"Even if you don't come back to Gangcheng with me, or go back to Haishi...even if you go to Mingfu's place, it's better than here."

As they were talking, the wind started to blow outside.

The yellow sand dyed the sky a color. People in the fields ran away when they saw it. If you were a step slower, you would get a mouthful of sand. If you were unlucky, you might even be buried alive by the sand.

Their era was much more developed than this time.

The border remains the same, and has not changed at all in forty or fifty years.

If you want to develop a place like this, the financial and material resources you have to invest will be a bottomless pit. Ruan's father has invested in it, and he doesn't know how many years it will take before he can see the results.

Qi Yangyan had a headache.

What does Mr. Ruan mean? Is he starting to act willful even when he's old?

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Father Ruan patted his chest loudly, but he still looked confident.

Qi Yangyan: “…”

His sister has a reason for doing this.

"Mom, please persuade him."

This place is too far away from the prosperous places in China. Not to mention other things, just the logistics and transportation is a big problem.

For some things, passion alone is not enough, you also need the right location.

"That's enough," Ms. Luan said, not as worried as Qi Yangyan. "Just let him hit a wall and he will know how to retreat."

Qi Yangyan: “…”

He is really the most worried person in the family.

When the conversation was almost over, the three of them walked out, and saw Director Huang walking over happily with a list in his hand.

"It's just right that you and your wife are here, so I don't have to make another trip." He handed over the list in his hand, patted Ruan's father on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Ruan, congratulations, you have been rehabilitated."

"What?!"

Father Ruan was surprised and delighted, and took the list and read it himself. There were not many words on it, not even the cause and effect. It just said that Father Ruan was not guilty and was reinstated.

"Brother Ruan, congratulations."

After hearing this, Ms. Luan also smiled.

Compared with others, Father Ruan and Ms. Luan are lucky. After all, they have only been sent down to the countryside for a short time, and compared with those who have been on the farm for five or seven years, they are simply too happy.

"You're welcome. Let's have fun together."

Although Mr. Ruan wants to stay here, it would be best if he could be rehabilitated.

Director Huang was very considerate. "Brother Ruan, if you want to leave, our farm will have a car leaving the day after tomorrow. If you leave today, I'll have someone tell the driver."

Qi Yangyan looked towards Ruan's father.

"Director Huang, I don't plan to leave."

"What?"

Now the person who was shocked was Director Huang.

How many people were looking forward to leaving here, but Ruan's father didn't leave? Moreover, the document issued stated that he was reinstated. Director Huang remembered that Ruan's father was the director of Haishi Steel Plant.

That's a mirage!

The steel mills in big cities have much more glamorous jobs than a director like him.

I really don't understand what Mr. Ruan is thinking.

"To be honest, Director Huang, I feel heartbroken when I see the current situation of our farm," Father Ruan covered his chest, "I want to stay on the farm and work with you to make the entire farm and even the entire border area prosperous."

Qi Yangyan: “…”

Director Huang's eyes lit up, and he looked fiercely towards Father Ruan, only to see the same blazing flames in the other's eyes.

All of a sudden, the two of them fell in love with each other.

"Great! Brother Ruan has an ideal," Director Huang and Ruan's father became close all of a sudden, "With you on the farm, it will definitely become prosperous!"

Father Ruan also said: "Director Huang..."

"Why call me Director Huang? That's too unfamiliar. Since you're older than me, I'll call you Brother Ruan, and you can call me Renzhong."

Director Huang’s full name is Huang Renzhong.

"Okay," Father Ruan said to Huang Renzhong intimately, "I have done research on the farm before, and I have a lot of ideas about it..."

"Oh?" Huang Renzhong's eyes lit up, "Brother Ruan, come to my office, we can talk slowly..."

Ms. Luan looked at Mr. Ruan's back with indescribable emotion.

"Your father is determined to stay on the farm."

Qi Yangyan: “…”

He is completely speechless now.

Thinking about family reunion.

Well, his sister got married. He found his parents, but his father was in his middle age and was enjoying a second spring in his career, so he refused to go with him. His mother wanted to stay with his father, and she would never leave without his father.

After all the trouble, he is still alone.

Ms. Luan couldn't control Mr. Ruan anymore, she shook her head.

"Come on, take me to the nearest post office. I want to call your sister."

When Ms. Luan said this, her vicious look made Qi Yangyan's hands tremble.

Suddenly she began to worry about her sister's life safety.

Father Ruan and Ms. Luan have been rehabilitated and are no longer under the farm's control, so they don't need to work anymore. Just make a phone call, and the farm office will have it, so there's no need to go to the post office.

The clerk dialed the number and left the room for the mother and son.

After waiting for a while, the call finally got through.

I heard a clear voice from the other side, "Hello, I'm Ruan Mingfu."

Ms. Luan clenched her hands around the microphone, "Ruan Mingfu, are you thinking that I'm not here, so you can do whatever you want and dare to get married?"

When Ruan Mingfu, who was on the other side of the microphone, heard this voice, she felt like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Ms. Luan?"

Ms. Luan asked sinisterly, "What did you call me?"

"……mom."

Ruan Mingfu on the other end couldn't help but shrink back when she thought of the trick Ms. Luan used to deal with her.

Woohoo, just let her travel through time by herself, why did she have to ask Ms. Luan to come here too...

Woo woo woo, her life is so miserable.

"Are you cursing me in your heart?"

Ruan Mingfu shuddered, "No... no, there is no such thing."

Luan Nu snorted coldly.

As soon as this annoying daughter stuck out her butt, she knew what was going to happen.

"Your father and I are planning to visit you."

"ah?"

Ruan Mingfu on the other side of the microphone was surprised.

"Ah what?"

"Mom, have you and Dad been rehabilitated?"

Ruan Mingfu finally realized what was happening and was even more surprised. She asked hurriedly, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me? Am I not your good daughter anymore?"

There was still some grievance when I said this.

Ms. Luan: “…”

She should be thankful that she is not around, otherwise I would have smashed her head off!

"Shut up!"

Ruan Mingfu on the other side was still feeling aggrieved, but under the pressure of Ms. Luan, she said, "...Oh."

"Don't talk nonsense. Your father and I will leave there tomorrow."

"It's so urgent, do you want to rest for a few days first?"

Ruan Mingfu's concern was pure and she was not a coward.

Ms. Luan narrowed her eyes and said, "Stop teasing me. It's settled!"

She was too lazy to waste any more time talking to this annoying daughter, so she handed the microphone to Qi Yangyan and went out.

"Mingfu."

"Brother," Ms. Luan was resolute and had a bad temper. If she wasn't careful, she would get beaten up. Ruan Mingfu didn't dare to ask too much, but she had no scruples in front of Qi Yangyan. "What's going on?"

Gu Yilin had said before that her parents wanted to be rehabilitated, but she waited for several months and nothing happened.

Now she doesn't have to wait anymore, because Mr. and Mrs. Ruan have been rehabilitated.

He also said he would come to see her.

Ruan Mingfu had a bitter face and couldn't help but reach out and touch her legs...

Don't ask, asking is a sign of cowardice.

Qi Yangyan briefly told her what happened today and told her father Ruan's decision.

"Brother, has Dad been locked up for too long and become stupid?"

Qi Yangyan: “…”

Say this in front of Ms. Luan and see if she beats you up. That's the end of you.

"Dad probably has his own thoughts."

"What's the point of thinking about that?" Ruan Mingfu couldn't figure it out. "Is the farm better than Haishi?"

She doesn't understand.

She quit her job as the director of a steel factory in Haishi and went to a farm to eat sand. If you didn't know, you would think her father was mentally ill.

"By the way, brother, do you really want to invest there?" Ruan Mingfu thought about the borderland fifty or sixty years later, and couldn't help but frowned. "Can you really get your money back?"

Qi Yangyan: “Not sure.”

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

Even in another time and space, her brother is still so wealthy.

However, Qi Yangyan used facts to tell her what real wealth and power meant.

"It's only one million. It doesn't matter if I can't get it back."

Qi Yangyan's tone was particularly flat, as if what he gave out was not one million, but one dollar.

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

She is so sour~

Monitor: ...

He is so sour too.

"If Dad plans to develop the farm, I plan to invest another 9 million later."

Qi Yangyan's light words almost made the other two people spray their backs.

Monitor: ...

Pinching my thigh hard.

Stay steady, stay steady!

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

Damn rich people.

"Brother, how do you have so much money?"

In comparison, she is really a waste.

It hurts! I want to cry...

"It's the largest bank in Hong Kong, the largest horse farm, the largest hotel, and it also controls three-quarters of the ferry business in Hong Kong," Qi Yangyan said calmly, "According to the calculation at the end of last year, the assets exceeded 2 billion."

He came through here, not without doing anything.

These are all his assets, but they are all hidden in the dark.

Ruan Mingfu: "..."

Swallow your saliva...

No wonder he brings so many bodyguards with him when he goes out. If anyone catches his brother and shakes him, he will probably become the next rich man.

Moreover, does her brother have an obsession with Dazhi?
